Yea these looks great...maybe like 25% lacking in the shine of gen (but much better than BTF on the subdials and hands). I might have to pull the trigger soon, I just wish there was some high quality side by sides to gen.
there are 3 mark of 116500 Ln black. the recent mark is very shiny, very similar to the Chromalight 116520 versions. the first mark had compass more dark gray. this one of clean represents one of the 3, exactly identical. of course platinum is unrivaled in brilliance, but this clean on the wrist is 99% gen like. and I am extremely fussy about this model. if i had a franken with dial gen i would have sold it immediately to get this.
